Why You’ll Love It…
Measuring in at 961 square feet, this apartment has plenty of space, and uses it well. There are several closets throughout, including one in the entryway, three in the primary bedroom, and one in the second bedroom. The kitchen is also brimming with cabinet space, which extends into the dining area to create a great pantry and coffee bar space. In the bathroom, you’ll find a tall cabinet for ultimate storage — much better than a simple medicine cabinet.
The unit’s finishes are also top-notch, with beautiful hardwood floors throughout and tile floors in the kitchen and bathroom. West-facing windows in almost all of the rooms let in great light, and help make the place feel bigger than it already is. Speaking of space, you won’t be lacking it in either of the two bedrooms — the smaller could be used as an office, but there’s plenty of square footage in the primary bedroom for a home office as well.
Plus, we have to talk about the pièce de résistance: the kitchen. In addition to the two-tone cabinetry, the room features stone countertops, white tile backsplash, and a full suite of stainless steel appliances, including a dishwasher!
Located in an elevator building with a live-in super and full-time porter, this unit has access to a bike room, updated laundry room, and parking garage. And being just a block away from Courtelyou Road and Coney Island Avenue, there are lots of great restaurants nearby. When you need to get out of the neighborhood, the B and Q trains are easily accessible. Additionally, Park Slope is less than a mile away!
…And Why You Might Not
Unfortunately, while the building allows cats and pet birds (yes, birds!), dogs are not permitted. Other than that, there’s not too much to nitpick here. So if you’ve been looking in the Flatbush area, be sure to bookmark this one!
